If you are lacking the precisely broken old bottle cage, I’m sure you could use some other piece of scrap metal with a couple of holes drilled in it, matching the pattern of the bottle cage you want to mount.

I hope you can see how it all fit together well enough from the photos.

I have to give Kurt Ritchie most of the credit for this project, since he was the hardware hacker who made it happen.

The result is very secure and doesn’t move at all. I hope this is helpful with your own project!

Update from 2011: This continued to work for over 5 years, until I was ready to sell the bike.
